	GENERAL: Credits Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

It doesn't affect gameplay, but the credits are not an unimportant part of the game, so I took a few hours to add them to the game. I added these in front of the existing Activision credits, which I left unchanged except for the first screen (to announce the remaining credits are for the original game).

In the coming posts I'm gonna post some screenshots of what the results look like. If you're on a slow connection, you may prefer to just download the attachment in this thread and try it out yourself, rather than wait for the whole thread to load.

Anway, I'd like to have some feedback on this: did I forget anyone, should any of the text be rephrased, should the layout be different, do you agree with the categories, is anyone listed under the wrong category, etc, etc. Any feedback is most welcome. I made two versions of the 2nd page: one using the Activision standard (everything capitalized) and one without the capitalization. I personally like the uncapitalized version better, but I'd like to hear other peoples opinions.

Good work there .

I would probably prefer to see the names either in all caps, or at least with capitalized first letters, as the lowercase names look a little bit odd.

Probably noone, because it is very difficuilt to get into External Consultants, if not impossible if you didn't work for Actvision. And I doubt the three people there will doing something else here.

Looks good . I was propose that we did this at some point, but I'm not surprised you beat me to it .

I think it's best to leave people's names in the same capitalization that they chose (as you have done in the non-cpitalized version).

Yep, agree with that. Just use the same way as they are registered here. (Does it restrict them from changing their login name of Apoly? )

Is it possible/likely that anyone would want their real names listed as well as their user names listed (As you've done for the Activisioners)? Of course, for unimaginative people like me it doesn't make much difference, but... just a thought...

You realise that keeping this list up to date will be far harder than initially creating it .

I would actually prefer to use that format for everyone, but some people may not want to use their real name and some people are no longer here and can probably no longer be contacted. I'm not sure if it would look good to use full names and handles for some people and only handles for others. Actually, I'm fairly sure it would look quite bad.

I'm the last person you'd have to warn about that
